Nebraska Farm to school

Connecting students from pasture to plate and exposing them to a real farmer from the beef community.

We can help incorporate our beef story into your curriculum around nutrition, agriculture and science.

  • Create Connection

    Jordan Classen- Born City Girl turned Rancher, Mom, Current Member of CommonGround Nebraska, and founder of Classen Land + Cattle

    The path from city girl to farmer taught me a lot about perspectives on both sides of the fence and how to connect the two. I now know how to eloquently have fun and tough conversations around our food, how it is grown and produced. As a member of CommonGround I can tap into our states best farmers and resources to present information at your school.

    Born as a natural relator with an inquisitive mind, I will connect our story full circle to students and staff.

  • Truth and Transparency

    Small Family Farm Practices

    As a small family farm, we have our hand in all of the aspects of running a farm and business. Our beef is produced through a dance of prioritizing animal health, ag technology, sustainable farming practices and connecting with consumers.

    Our transparent farm practices help give our beef credibility and show our younger generations learning and adapting is how businesses create legacy. We want our legacy to be made by showing our youth the importance of conserving our natural resources, caring for our animals, not being afraid to learn something new and jump in with both feet!

  • Delicious Beef

    Upper choice and premium grade.

    In true Nebraska pioneer spirit, our beef is single sourced, born and raised on our farm, and processed at a USDA facility. There are no additives, hormones or dyes in our beef. We follow natural practices and work directly with a cattle nutritionist and veterinarian, they are integral to our process. Our beef is the perfect fit for your school food service program. We can help connect Nebraska students to agriculture and beef production and practices. Perfect in sloppy joes, taco bars, soups, burgers, and more our beef can fit into your scheduled menu.
